Great Gigs

[giggirl]

Poor girl

Forget the Ticketmaster UK site - it's crashed for good (until it's "Back For Good" of course)

keep trying at www.ticketmaster.ie

Also - try

www.ticketmaster.de - which is also selling UK shows

Stargreen has the new Friday date now and it's not crashing - BE QUICK Mick

For Mick Mac and anyone else failing to get their other half Take That tickets

[giggirl]

Oh dear that's very funny Jah. I must admit I've worn that face a bit myself today.

It's always worth remembering though that whenever Ticketmaster UK crashes - as it does from time to time - dont' waste time swearing at your machine - just switch sites instantly to www.ticketmaster.ie - which uses a different server altogether and sells all the same shows as the UK site.

Ticketmaster.ie is running slow today because they are picking up the slack from the UK - just be patient. Try the German site (www.ticketmaster.de) too - it is also selling the Take That shows.

Good luck.

At Chris Wood gig right now (intermission).

He is a very good guitarist and singer !

Here at King's Place.

A friend is recommending I spend 75 quid on seeing Dolly Parton... thoughts?

[giggirl]

I would really love to see Dolly - I think she's a real star - but I don't think I would spend ?75. She's due to announce a second date at the O2 (the Thursday) so if you do commit to paying that much then hold out for the second date rather than taking what's left of the first date (probably level 4 only). I'm not sure what she's like live but I have Jolene on my ipod and that sounds pretty dam good.

If you want a cheaper night out I would recommend the Fleet Foxes at Hammersmith in May - brand new album.

Any Belle & Sebastian fans out there btw? I might have a spare ticket for the Roundhouse.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I always preferred Follyfoot.

I'm not a fan but I know there are plenty of fans in ED. Expensive I think but don't get me started on the cost of going out these days.

Personally I'm not really feeling this year's Somerset House line-up, but here is a pre-sale for those who want to book before the main-sale tomorrow (Friday).

Hi Giggirl

How's you?

Got my ticket for Tindersticks @ Somerset House after the abject disappointment of them cancelling the intimate soho theatre shows.

[giggirl]

Have they actually cancelled those Soho Theatre gigs now? I had an email from them yesterday which was very confusing and I meant to phone them. So definitely cancelled then? Well that's a bummer. I've also booked my Tindersticks for Somerset House. It's on a Sunday night so we can all catch the 176 home together.

[titch juicy]

They've cancelled properly now. I had tickets for the Friday and Saturday for main and acoustic shows afterwards, and had friends comig down from Leeds for them. All frankly gutted.

[giggirl]

That sucks. All I've had from Soho was a confusing email confirming my original booking. I was going on the Thursday.

Good news about Somerset House though - it's a great setting. Last year I saw My Morning Jacket on the Sunday night and it was wet and cold - but still a good night.

Am I the only one that thinks that Tim Minchin is so wrong for Somerset House? He's great live but I'd want to be sitting down somewhere indoors.

[StraferJack]

I knew as soon as the soho gigs were postponed that the chance for some special gigs was gone

Somerset house will be lovely and I've seen them play there before but... Not the same thing. Still gutted

[titch juicy]

Soho theatre have said they are trying to sort something for next year, and original bookers will have first dibs on tickets.

[Sue]

Brass Monkey's only London date on their tour tomorrow - in East Dulwich - will be a great gig (shameless plug!)

More info here!

[flapjackdavey]

it was a great gig :))

[uncleglen]

Free Death Metal All-Dayer at the Unicorn this Sunday- can't wait!

[Jeremy]

uncleglen - you piqued my curiosity, and I googled the event you mentioned. I had not previously heard of "Prostitute Disfigurement", do they get played on Capital Radio at all?

[uncleglen]

They probably wouldn't be allowed to say 'Prostitute Disfigurement' on the radio!
